Canker
Canker is a protozoal infection caused by Trichomonas gallinae, affecting the mouth, throat, crop, and upper digestive tract. It is most commonly listed in pigeons, doves, and some aviary birds.
Signs listed: yellow or white patches in the mouth or throat, mouth lesions, difficulty swallowing, poor appetite, weight loss, crop discomfort, and lethargy.
How to use | Stated directions
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) per quart of drinking water
- Treat for 5–7 days
- Prepare fresh solution daily
- Provide treated water as the only water source
If signs do not improve, consider bacterial infections, fungal infections, vitamin deficiencies, or crop-related disorders — not a longer guess at the same course.
Separate listings
Pigeon canker tablets and pigeon canker powder are not this 20% powder. Those are separate listings:

Use the directions on the product you actually have. A broader overview is on the Bird Parasite Treatment Guide. After treatment, many keepers use a probiotic such as Probiotic Plus for Birds.
